Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 141 words
An electrical connector for a shield cable comprising: a shielding sleeve portion including a contact holding portion having a pair of opposed jig entrances, a shield wires crimping portion having a pair of crimping tabs, and an outer sheath crimping portion having a pair of crimping tabs; and a signal line contact having a contact body, an insulator crimping portion, and an insulation displacement portion with an insulation displacement contact to which a signal line of said shield cable is to be connected by insulation displacement, said signal line contact being placed within said contact holding portion via an insulator body so that said insulator crimping portion is positioned between said jig entrances, said jig entrances being large enough to accept crimping tools so as to allow said shield wires crimping portion and said insulator crimping portion to be simultaneously crimped.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 141 words
An electrical connector for a shield cable comprising: a shielding sleeve portion including a contact holding portion having a pair of opposed jig entrances, a shield wires crimping portion having a pair of crimping tabs, and an outer sheath crimping portion having a pair of crimping tabs; and a signal line contact having a contact body, an insulator crimping portion, and an insulation displacement portion with an insulation displacement contact to which a signal line of said shield cable is to be connected by insulation displacement, said signal line contact being placed within said contact holding portion via an insulator body so that said insulator crimping portion is positioned between said jig entrances, said jig entrances being large enough to accept crimping tools so as to allow said shield wires crimping portion and said insulator crimping portion to be simultaneously crimped.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 154 words
An electrical connector for a shielded cable, which comprises: a shielding sleeve having a contact holding portion, a shield wires crimping portion, and an outer sheath crimping portion, said contact holding portion having a pair of opposed upper and lower jig entrances; an insulation body placed within said contact holding portion such that its rear portion is exposed through said upper jig entrance; a signal line contact having a contact body, an insulation displacement portion, and an insulator crimping portion and supported by said insulation body such that said insulation displacement portion is placed on said rear portion of said insulation body while said insulator crimping portion projects from said rear portion into a space between said upper and lower jig entrances; and said upper and lower jig entrances being large enough to accept crimping tools so as to allow said shield wires crimping portion and said insulator crimping portion to be simultaneously crimped.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 154 words
An electrical connector for a shielded cable, which comprises: a shielding sleeve having a contact holding portion, a shield wires crimping portion, and an outer sheath crimping portion, said contact holding portion having a pair of opposed upper and lower jig entrances; an insulation body placed within said contact holding portion such that its rear portion is exposed through said upper jig entrance; a signal line contact having a contact body, an insulation displacement portion, and an insulator crimping portion and supported by said insulation body such that said insulation displacement portion is placed on said rear portion of said insulation body while said insulator crimping portion projects from said rear portion into a space between said upper and lower jig entrances; and said upper and lower jig entrances being large enough to accept crimping tools so as to allow said shield wires crimping portion and said insulator crimping portion to be simultaneously crimped.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
The electrical connector of claim 2, wherein said upper jig entrance is larger than said lower jig entrance.
